Can you tell me if transexual people are allowed to work in Bangkok bars and nightclubs? If you just want to be with a 'straight' girl, how can you tell if that bar girl is a transexual or not?

There are Kratoeys, Transexuals, Ladyboys, whatever you want to call them working in all avenues of employment in Thailand. Most can be differentiated by 1) being very tall, above 5'9"; 2) have large hands, 3) large feet, 4) deeper voice than a woman and 5) a pronounced adams apple...although many have had surgery to change this item...among other things. Most will have an exaggerated sway in the bum when walking.
You should not have nay trouble finding a straight girl to fulfill your wishes. Thailand is a nation that is very accepting of "alternative lifestyles" and you see them in all walks of life.
There is an old adage concerning business decisions that can apply here. "If in doubt, DON'T!" Otherwise, enjoy the Land of Smiles.

Well if the 'bar girl' is a transexual there is no problem because she has had a sex change operation and is to all intents and purposes a female (but of course the birth certificate will indicate that she was born male).
Katoyes and cross dressers are everywhere not just in Bangkok and you will find Katoyes in every walk of life, bars, pubs, restaurants, offices and shops. These are generally males who are effeminate and may or may not want to cross dress.
The nature of 'katoye' is difficult to define, even the Thais have some difficulty with defining the word and the nature, but they are very accepting of katoyes as long as they are low key and do not force it in people's faces - causing embarressment and loss of face for the individual and the country.

Yes most of them work at Casa Nova's on the third floor of Nana Plaza. If you just want a straight 100% natural girl then most gogo bars should be OK. The Thai word for transgender is Katoey. Most bars don't hire ladyboys. The bars that do tend to hire all ladyboys.
Most Ladyboys work the street. Don't get too drunk and do something you'll regret.

Depends what u want there are lots of bar and clubs in Nana street for youth but they are average and just places go to places which u wont see any other place like go to the classy prestigious place, u have to go to Banyan Tree where they have sky bar on the 61 floor or pier on the 59 floor.. Others go to Diplomat Bar in Conrad and it is so so good. Sheraton Nana also has night club which is heaven

Your best bet is to avoid paying for sex, and just get a normal girfriend.
The sex industry is often a front for slavery and drugs trafficking, run by criminals.
Please note that I am not a religious nut. I just don't like to see poor people treated like dirt.

The difference between a boy and a girl is in their genes.
